From the bingo site that brought you easier-to-win jackpots, Second Chance and chocolate chip coated newsletters (at least we would if Poppy stopped eating the choccy!) comes the new standard in accolades.
You can forget the MBEs, OBEs, KCBEs and BBCs (unless you’re watching Top Gear) ‘cause you’ll be hard pushed to get one of those unless you’re really lucky.
But we admire Her Majesty’s generosity in recognising ordinary people who make outstanding contributions to various causes. So BingoMania UK – in association with His Imperial Highness, Emperor Skippy the First of BingoMania, Jack of the Pot and Defender of the Slots – is proud to announce Skippy’s Monthly Honours list.
Every month each of our GMs will be nominating players for inclusion in Skippy’s Monthly Honours List. Nominations will be made on the basis of ‘an outstanding contribution to chat’ for players who have demonstrated consistent friendliness, politeness, patience and community spirit. The nominations will then go before His Imperial Highness’s loyal advisors, who will consider all the nominees before finishing the champagne and truffles choosing one player to receive the prestigious OBME – the Order of the BingoMania Empire.
Our monthly OBME winner will be featured on the blog and the newsletter, and will be presented with £50 of BBs from the Ancient and Honourable Bearer of the Imperial Sack. They will also be entitled to use the letters OBME after their name in chat and on the blog.
All players whose accounts are in good standing and who have made a deposit within the past 30 days are eligible for an OBME, with the exception of employees of Helix Gaming International, and their relatives, who are not eligible.

We know that a number of you are experiencing problems with chat freezing, tickets not showing and getting booted and we’ve been looking into it. Our techs and the techs at Parlay (who provide the software) have given the site the thumbs up, from a technical point of view.
So, we’ve been chatting with our counterparts on other sites and they tell us that some of their players are experiencing difficulties too. The collected wisdom of our best technical staff, the techs at Parlay and reports from other sites resulted in the following info which I hope will help a lot of you out.
- AOL has been experiencing a fair amount of problems, as have other ADSL providers. If you have ADSL broadband (you use filters on your line for your phones and don’t have a cable connection) then please get in touch with your ISP. We know that AOL, for example, are giving free time to people having these problems.
- Flash Player has recently been updated. If you don’t have the latest version, try downloading it from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/ and see if that improves things for you. A number of players have said that that has helped them.
- As always, please remember to frequently clear out your temporary internet files and clear your cookies. Some of the signs that you may need to do this include: certain numbers not being called by the caller even though they are out, the music not being heard and problems with the game playing slowly.
Unfortunately, we can’t find an answer for every single problem that is experienced by players, but hopefully these suggestions will help most of you.

Earlier today we sent out a press release telling the world “well, the online bingo world” about Janny’s £14,316.47 Jackpot win from last week. This is a copy of the release but modified for our blog.
Press Release starts here:
June 04, 2008 - An online bingo player with BingoMania.co.uk (http://www.bingomania.co.uk ) is celebrating after scooping the site’s highest ever individual prize giveaway. Janny08, from Dunstable, Bedfordshire, walked away with a lip-smacking £14,316.47 GBP … then generously decided to share her prize with a bingo pal. Her jackpot is nearly £100 more than the site’s previous highest.
BingoMania.co.uk is a relatively small site, yet has gained a reputation for big payouts. Another UK player, Mitchmente, had previously won £14,245.41. It’s this prize structure, coupled with huge deposit bonuses and fair odds, which last year helped BingoMania.co.uk gain number two* spot among UK bingo sites.
